I would like to be involved but not in the current disorganized form. Our #gentoo-bugs channel topic still refers to the thoroughly outdated bugsday.g.o page, and I can't edit either of them. We need an easier interface to mark bugs to be tackled on bugday, and I like Sebastian's proposal for that. The idea for the bugsday.g.o page is good, but it needs to be brought up-to-date and accessible to all devs. Low barriers to participation and all that. And even devs who cannot take part on the day itself could participate by requesting certain bugs or issues to be tackled. Also, participating devs should get permission to commit easy fixes for packages they don't maintain (the other thread about commit policies is relevant here). Obviously issues that are more involved need to be passed on to the proper maintainers. I think if we can get a few devs and possibly some users together to organize this in a better way, this could be useful. But if things are to stay the way they are, then we better stop pretending.
